Luciano Takes Monster Chip Lead After Busting Sabbia

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Mike Sabbia got aggressive with a draw and it proved costly.
Mike Sabbia got aggressive with a draw and it proved costly.

The biggest pot by far of the tournament just went down, and William Luciano was the victor.

Luciano opened for 22,000 preflop in the hijack and was called by Paul Fisher (cutoff) and Sabbia (big blind). After the {8-Spades}{q-Clubs}{k-Clubs} flop, Luciano bet 33,000, Fisher folded, and Sabbia check-raised to 100,000. Luciano pushed all in, and Sabbia asked for a count. Luciano had about 495,000 more, while Sabbia had 421,000. He decided to make the call.

Sabbia: {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Luciano: {k-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

Sabbia had a pair and a flush draw, but only the draw was live since Luciano had two big pair. The {5-Hearts} turn was a brick, as was the {6-Hearts} that followed.

"I was hoping you had ace-king so I had a chance," Sabbia said as he pushed his stack across the table.
